Scott Darling 2nd Half?
Darling was dropped in my pool last week based upon his 8-1 loss showing.
Is Darling going to have a nice 2nd half? Should I scoop him up? and if so? Who do I drop?
Thanks!

Re: Scott Darling 2nd Half?
Ward has started (and won) 4 of the last 6 games, IIRC. That's not an endorsement for picking up Darling at this time.
Re: Scott Darling 2nd Half?
He cant be worse BUT I think his leash is definitely shortened now. Theyll let ward fight for starts and be fine giving them to him when earned. Even if he improves- he'll be starting a lot less imho. Im a Darling owner and i think were seeing the beginning of the end here (in terms of his shot at fantasy prominence)...
Re: Scott Darling 2nd Half?
While he should improve, I don't see a reason for you to grab him.

Re: Scott Darling 2nd Half?
In a 10 team league, he’s likely not even the best goalie unowned

Re: Scott Darling 2nd Half?
I drafted him too early because I had high hopes, based on last year and his new team and playing opportunity. Kept him until last week but he was sitting on my bench because I couldn’t trust him. He would have one good game, and 3 or 4 bad ones. Even the games he won he would let in a late goal or two. I finally dropped him because he was just taking up a spot and I could not see any indication of a change.

Re: Scott Darling 2nd Half?
Unfortunately, the other goalies on the wire are Lehner, Howard, C. Anderson, Markstrom, the Islander's handcuff, Rantta, and Luongo - IROriginally Posted by lucafen4
Also all the backups are free...
Streaming a backup may be the best option followed by Isles and Howard - unless Ottawa stops being horrible
Re: Scott Darling 2nd Half?
I would also look at Lehner's numbers the last month... some solid improvements there. Raanta quietly hasn't been awful either

Re: Scott Darling 2nd Half?
You are correct on that! I hadn't checked that previously.
Now if Buffalo could only win some games he'd really be a nice add!
Re: Scott Darling 2nd Half?
Lehner and buffalo could surprise. I hope as I own him in one league.

Re: Scott Darling 2nd Half?
I actually drafted Lehner also this year... couldn't stomach the pain though so dropped him... Wish I'd have drafted Hellboy haha (he was undrafted)!
Re: Scott Darling 2nd Half?
Can you pick up Luongo and stash him on IR, then grab Lehner? The wins may not be there, but his peripherals are solid.
